wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Eveyone,
First of all I created one GUI with buttons,labels, texts using perl Tk, now after that i created that .pl script to .exe fil. Now I want another .pl script to be called by clicking on a button in that GUI.
Right now it works fine by including this code in the parent perl script(.exe one) : sub update_script {system($^X, 'test2.pl', $ent -> get(), $ent_pass -> get(),$arg_32, @values, @names);}
This function update_script is being called on one of the button in test1.pl or test1.exe
Now the button on the test1.exe works fine on click and shows test2.pl output but in case if I put this .exe somewhere else then it says perl file unrecognized.
Can someone tell me how to solve theses kind of errors?
Regards,
Jack

my test1.exe was also passing parameters to test2.pl, if I'll make test2.pl as test2.pm then how these parameters will be passed.
Also if I am writing use test2,pm in test1,pl then test2,pm GUI window appears first which is wrong.
What I want is test1,exe should have a button by clicking on which we can pass parameters to test2,pm and then the test2,pm runs a GUI which should be able to have other buttons too inside it.

Think of it like this, test1 and test2 stuff are controlled from the same main window. Test1 is on the first tab of a two tabbed screen, test2 is on the second. While you are working on page 1 you hide page 2, when you click the button to move to page 2 you hide page 1 and show page 2.

You pass parameters in exactly the same way as you pass them to a sub-routine, because test2 is exactly that.

It's the same as if you wanted to add a bit of functionality to any existing program. just add another sub-routine and call it, rather than writing a completely different program and calling it through systme or backticks.

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
